Our view of Capital Index
Capital Index stands out for an FCA licence, a low minimum deposit of $0, MetaTrader 4 and copy trading. The main issues to consider are an inactivity fee. Its suitability depends on the legal entity available in your country, the protection attached to that entity and whether its pricing and platform range match how you intend to trade.
Who Capital Index may suit
Capital Index may suit traders looking for a tier-one licence behind the account, a small first deposit, copy trading and automated strategies.
Who should consider alternatives
Consider alternatives if you require an Islamic account, stronger regulatory protection or account terms that are not available through your local entity.
